The Perth Marriage Office Offers A Number Of Options For Marriage
The Perth Marriage Office is staffed by Commonwealth Marriage Celebrants and marriages are conducted in one of our stunning rooms, where the legal paperwork is signed and the marriage is solemnised according to law.
This marriage service is typically for couples who would like to be married in Australia, or just need the minimum legal requirements to be married. The Perth Marriage Office also services couples who are requesting a Fiancé Visa Letter for the Department of Immigration for their Prospective Marriage Visa, or couples who require their marriage to be registered in Australia following a ceremony overseas, in Bali or Thailand for example.
The Perth Marriage Office is available to take bookings for weddings in a registry office format, by appointment, 7 Days a Week – Monday to Sunday. (Subject to booking availability)
